Synopsis:	Important: sudo security update
Issue date:	2010-09-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-2956

A flaw was found in the way sudo handled Runas specifications containing
both a user and a group list. If a local user were authorized by the
sudoers file to perform their sudo commands with the privileges of a
specified user and group, they could use this flaw to run those commands
with the privileges of either an arbitrary user or group on the system.
